Baby Brunch!

This past Saturday, my sister and her daughter, my in-laws, and my sister-in-law’s family threw Steve and me a lovely brunch (for many reasons – not the least of which was my mom’s absence – the traditional all-female at-home baby shower didn’t make sense for us) at 44 1/2 in Hells Kitchen. Almost all of Steve’s family attended, as well as my dad, my sister and niece and around 20 of our closest friends. It was such a lovely event. Below please find some of our favorite moments and details from the day. Because I don’t like to assume that folks are comfortable with pictures of themselves or their children on the internet, I’ve focused on including elements here while respecting folks’ privacy. Thank you so much to our families and friends for their generosity and helping us prepare for this huge milestone!

This picture has been in my family for more than 45 years! My mom painted it before my brother was born. It was in each of our nurseries and then in each of my siblings’ babies’ nurseries and it is now hanging in our bedroom (until we move and our little girl has a room of her own). My sister has reframed it, preserved it, and kept it in safe keeping. Thanks, Sista!
